Version 0.6.1 was released and then the developer added some fixes.
The builds named as "0.6.1.3" are downloaded as source from git with (I believe) those fixes included.

VERSION 0.6.2 STATIC PORTABLE
There is also a static build 0.6.2-i686 (by the official developer but packaged by me for Puppy). This is uploaded for testing in other Puppies. Bigger than the compiled versions but includes other features such as OPUS support and works in lots of Puppies. Installs into /usr/local but it is portable so could easily be modified to install in /mnt/home so as not to use up the save-file space._________________Oscar in EnglandLast edited by OscarTalks on Thu 18 Sep 2014, 10:49; edited 12 times in total

The 0.4 versions did not play some of the common stream formats out of the box. This version 0.5.6 does everything I need and I like the GUI. For me it is the best audio player.

In fact the versions for Wary / Racy and Slacko 5.3.3 do not need libiconv at all and with Pemasu's work-around the Precise version (which I have also now added to the first post) does not need libiconv to run, only to build. It is a pain when it crops up in other Puppies though._________________Oscar in England

Deadbeef is a great audio player, I use it all the time to listen to internet radio.
it switches very fast between channels, and has low CPU usage while playing music.
Now version 6.0 is out.
Anybody care to make pets for that?
Wink wink

I don't have a version of Dpup Exprimo set up on any of my machines at present, but I am a little surprised that the static DeaDBeeF doesn't work in it. What happens if you try running it from terminal?

Thinking about it, Exprimo has a version of DeaDBeeF included so that may be causing complications when installing the static build. You may need to remove that one first.

I did try compiling DeaDBeeF 0.6.0 in Wary and Lucid but it was throwing up all sorts of errors so I assumed that Dpup Exprimo would probably be the same. It seems to need more recent libraries or something. This is part of the reason why I didn't remove the 0.5.6 versions.

DeaDBeeF is my favourite audio player but looking at the number of downloads there doesn't seem to be much demand for it. There are lots to choose from including the native pMusic plus media players that play audio so understandable perhaps. I will try to take another look when I get chance.

LATER:- Just remembered I still have a frugal install of Dpup Exprimo 5.X.15 on my old SiS tower so booted pfix=ram and installed DeaDBeeF Static 0.6.0 .PET and it works OK for me. I didn't even need to delete the older one, so not sure what is happening there._________________Oscar in England

Yes that is strange.
I tried Deadbeef static 0.6 on one machine with Dpup Exprimo 3.4.2.12, and on another machine with 3.2.14.2, both running from CD with savefile on USB. Both could not start the static 0.6
But the lupu pet 0.5.6 (from this thread) works fine.
I will test it with some other puppies later.
How do I run it from terminal?
Deadbeef is my favorite internet radio player in puppy, because it switches fast and easy between channels, and has low CPU usage.
I like VLC too, but for puppy, Deadbeef is a much lighter install.

I wonder if you got a bad download (or maybe I got a bad upload).
Anyway, I have edited the first post so I am now using smokey01.com for storage and I have posted the md5sums so you can verify.

You can try deleting the /usr/lib/deadbeef directory and contents and also /usr/bin/deadbeef before installing the .pet but I don't think it should be necessary. Mine worked without doing this. The static .pet should overwrite the binary with a script and the new main deadbeef folder has been placed down the /usr/local/* path.

To run from terminal just open a terminal, type deadbeef and press enter. See what response you get.

EDIT:-
OK, if I boot pfix=ram and install it is OK, but if I create a save-file and reboot it starts from terminal but not from the menu. Seems to be a conflict around the deadbeef.desktop file in /usr/share/applications

Try deleting this file before installing the .pet and/or after installation open a terminal, type fixmenus and press enter then type jwm -reload and press enter or restart jwm from the menu.

ANOTHER EDIT:-
Further testing and this static build does not work in Lucid and in Racy it works once and then fails on the second run after the config files have been created. I think I had better remove it. Maybe stick with version 0.5.6 if you are running anything other than one of the newest Puppies. I never had any problems with it and it did everything I needed._________________Oscar in England

Yes I use now your 5.6 pet for Lupu on Dpup Exprimo, that works great, and it's better than the old 4.4 version, and then your 6.0 pets for the newer puppies.
And now I have music ringing in my ears, on the headphones, or through the big stereo.
